Shoutout to @sw20kosh for taking this explanation on, great work. Those looking at which FI kit to use should have this thread as a mandatory reading :p

I know it is another variable, but in all my shopping around for kits, IAT has always been really important to me due to our engine's CR. The lower the IAT is, the more inherent knock resistance and with that comes the ability to run (slightly) more boost OR run more timing advance at the same level of boost. This is one aspect that lets kits like PTuning's run head and shoulders above the rest of the pack in terms of power output.
